MUSCULAR Flashcards
(70 cards)
FUNCTIONS OF MUSCULAR SYSTEM
For movement and locomotion
Provides form & shape to the body
Heat production
Protection
movement of amoeba
Amoeboid movement
allows them to move crawling on the surface
Pseudopodia
eg. WBC, coelomic cells, Amoeba, embryonic tissues, in wound healing & many cell types growing in tissue culture
Amoeboid movement
longer than cilia
Flagella
eg. Paramecium, free living flatworms cilia Euglena, Trypanosoma (parasitic blood plasma) - flagella
Ciliary/Flagellar Movement
eg. Flatworms, some Cnidarians, gastropod molluscs (snail), earthworms
Pedal Locomotion
eg. Leeches & some insect larvae (caterpillar), polychaete worms
Looping movements
e.g. Echinoderms (sea stars) - 5 arms with water vascular canal each + tube feet hydraulic pressure drives movement
Water-vascular system
- in Arthropods (have wings)
Flight
e.g. Some insects (fleas, grasshoppers, leaf hoppers)
Jumping
NON-MUSCULAR MOVEMENT
Amoeboid movement
Ciliary/Flagellar Movement
MUSCULAR MOVEMENT in Invertebrates
Pedal Locomotion
Looping movements
Water-vascular system
Flight
Jumping
PROPERTIES OF MUSCLES
Contractility
Excitability
Extensibility
Elasticity
the ability to contract or shorten & become thicker
Contractility
the capacity to receive & respond to a stimulus
Excitability
the ability to be stretched
Extensibility
the ability to return to its original shape after being stretched or contracted
Elasticity
Kinds of muscle
Skeletal
Cardiac
Smooth
DESCRIPTION: Long, striated cells with multiple
FUNCTION: Contraction for voluntary movements
Skeletal muscle
-waves of activity in the muscular system that are applied to the substrate
Pedal Locomotion
DESCRIPTION: Long, spindle-shaped cells, each with a single nucleus
COMMON LOCATIONS: In hollow organs (e.g., stomach)
FUNCTION: Propulsion of substances along internal passageways
Smooth muscle
DESCRIPTION: Branching, striated cells fuse at plasma membranes
COMMON LOCATIONS: Wall of heart
FUNCTION: Pumping of blood in the circulatory system
Cardiac muscle
are attached to bones directly or indirectly or with other muscles with connective tissues
